Apr 10 2008Sleek, Sexy, Daddy Likes: Cellphone Watch
Here at Geekologie we've already seen several different cellphone watches, but they looked like shit. This one doesn't, and I would wear it. The Van Der Led WM2 Cellphone Watch comes out on Monday (April 14th) and will cost $471. "It's got a tiny 1.3-inch, 260k color touchscreen display, stereo Bluetooth, and boasts up to 240-hours of standby or 300-minutes of talk. Plus 1GB of storage for your MP3 or MP4 files. As usual, transfer data via USB." And also as usual, I can't afford it. I swear, when are these companies going to start sending me complementary products so I can actually review them? I mean Geekologie is a serious news outlet. I promise I won't say anything bad. Unless they suck, in which case I'll have to tear into them like my wife into a box of Little Debbie cakes.
1:10 P.M. UPDATE: The wife called to inform me that she DOES NOT like the Strawberry Shortcake Rolls.
1:22 P.M. UPDATE: Called again. Just ate a box and retracts previous statement.

What? You can't play Jewelquest on it? Piece of crap.

When I was a kid these types of things were just imagination. I think the reason they started making them is because kids no longer have imaginations.
My problem is that I just don't wear watches but I might make an exception although I find I can carry almost everything I would put in my wallet behind my BB Curve in the case. Debit card, license, etc.. slide right in.
Oh crap! I didn't crack wise even once here. I think I need to lie down.

It looks great except how can you touch anything on a 1.3-inch screen? Even with a stylus you'll end up selecting half the options on the screen.

With my non-watch phone I can hold the phone and dial all with one hand. This phone requires both hands to dial. Then no hands to talk?... bluetooth earpieces are pretty silly.
